KITTERY, Maine — Coming into focus — the Kittery Art Association presents a mixture of traditional film and digital photography, as well as new digital art works that’s called Photography with Pow: Pictures & Digital Art.

The show begins on Saturday, Feb. 23, with a free reception planned for that Sunday evening between 4 and 6 p.m.

The reception will feature many of the photographers and visual artists who will speak about their artwork, while sharing wine and cheese with the public.

This show runs ever so briefly, and winds up on Sunday, March 17. The show will be open at the KAA Gallery at 8 Coleman Ave. in Kittery Point Saturdays noon to 6, and Sundays noon to 5 through February, but starting in March, it will also be open on Thursdays from noon to 6.

Among the many photographers who will be displaying are Tom Hibschman, Barbara Ingersoll, Anne Catell, and Bill Moore.

Hibschman has lived his life as an art teacher and photographer and has a list of credits that set him apart from virtually everyone, but Ingersoll and Catell have a considerable following in the Northeast, while Moore is a newcomer to the area.

Tom Hibschman says of his photography: “My work deals with time transformations in metaphor, memory and personal association. Capturing the appearance of places or things that are subject to change over time is magical for me.”

Two of the pieces he will show at the KAA show are Thinking of Raymond and Whitehead rock.

Hibschman says of Thinking of Raymond, “Raymond was a nearby neighbor who passed away. He viewed this tree from his farmhouse window as it grew for many years. This tree captures the decisive moment of autumn light and passing clouds.”
